Let's solve this addition problem. We have 2180 and 8742, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 8 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 2180 + 8742 = 10922.
